i would think

that the 15w50 mobil 1 is on the list of approved oils, but personally i would not use anything that is not listed in the owners manual, in case it is not.

you may have to read the fine print on the labels, etc. sm sj, etc.

btw when going up to auburn last weekend, my buddy's 04 audi tt came up a litttle low on oil. we had to go three places to find an oil listed in the manual to put in the little bugger.

i was amazed at how hard it was to find an acceptable oil. found it at autozone. of 20 choices only one met the spec. i think we endedup with mobil 1 5w40.
